It was now day six of their fourteen day stay, after finding out the startling news about Cameron and her past, House had settled down a bit. If one could suggest without being eaten alive, he had gotten into a routine with her family. Something he hadn't had for nearly his entire life.

"Uncle Greg, time to get up" Julia shook the sleeping doctor

"Nope, not today it's not, Uncle Greg can't move" he mumbled, soft footsteps could be heard leaving his room.

Moments later a shout alerted the house, "Aunt Ally! Aunt Ally! Uncle Greg can't move!"

More footsteps later Cameron was crouched beside House's bed, in her pyjama's, "What's happened?"

"I can't move, my tablets are in the lounge and I didn't want Julia watching me take them" he sighed, "To damn proud"

"It's alright" she smiled softly, "Julia can you go eat brekkie while I fix Uncle Greg please?" she asked the youngster

"Ok, but make sure he comes back better" she looked so cute with her stubborn face, "Otherwise I'll tell Nanna on you!"

"Ok, just go eat brekkie and get Nanna to fix Uncle Greg's brekkie, he wont be long" Cameron smiled, following the little girl out of the room, in the guise of getting her medical bag.

House could hear Cameron return, along with the familiar sound of his half empty tablets. The past six days of trying to help out had paid their toll on his body, "Here" she handed him two pills

"Only one" he handed her back one

"No, two House, you're stiff and sore" Cameron pushed it back, "I'm also taking you off any strenuous labour, including dishes, cleaning and scrubbing"

"Yes doctor" House mocked

Cameron entered the kitchen a few minutes before House, "Ok, House isn't to do anything strenuous, actually I'd prefer him to just rest in bed but as always he refuses. That means no rough play Julia and I'm sorry Dad but he can't help on the farm today, he has done some damage to his leg, and pulled a few muscles in his shoulders" Cameron explained

"Fair enough, he did push himself a bit far yesterday" John agreed, "Caroline why don't you take the girls into town today, that way he can get plenty of rest without munchkin here pulling on him" John ruffled Julia's hair

"Sure, Pete wanted to see the girls sometime this week, family day" she smiled sadly at Cameron

"Morning" House entered, trying to stretch but ended up wincing

"Go sit on the couch, I'll bring your breakfast in" Cameron instructed

"I'm not sure I like you as my doctor" House sulked, "Take away all my fun, first work and now eating with the family!"

"Just sit" Cameron replied grabbing his breakfast and following him into the lounge.

She sat next to him, legs crossed underneath her eating a bowl of cereal. She watched carefully as nearly every movement he made had him wincing in pain. Noticing the more specific spots where he flinched more. "What are you looking at?" he mumbled

"You have really done it this time, you can't even move without flinching from pain" she stated

"Not true, I can still do this" He went to poke out his tongue only to wince again, "Ok you win" he sighed leaning into the couch, his breakfast forgotten.

"Shuffle forward" she placed her bowl on the table

"I'm sorry…what?" he looked at her

"Shuffle forward, I'll massage the spots" Cameron explained

"Oh, thanks" he mumbled

Shuffling forward painfully, Cameron grabbed her mum's massage cream, taking of his shirt she expertly shimmied behind him. She squeezed some cream onto his warm back, causing him to gasp. Before applying pressure, her delicate fingers moved over his shoulders with precise precision. He unwillingly offered up a few groans of pleasure as the knots that had been working up in his shoulders were slowly dissipating.

After working on his shoulders she gently massaged his neck in case of possible knots before moving further down his back, more moans manifested as she hit all his pain spots. Working out his knots was simple, yet tiring, she found herself yawning after only being awake a few hours. Truth be told, neither got a good night sleep after the discoveries of the previous night. She had finished his back she leaned on his shoulder, "Still painful?"

"Not as much" he sighed

"What about your leg?" she asked nervously

"Still sore" he gritted

His pyjama pants were thin enough for her to massage through the material, but she was uncertain, in case he rejected, "I can massage it too" she suggested softly

"You don't have to, you've already done my back" he shrugged

"It will help" she surmised

"OK then" he agreed shocking her.

He slipped the leg painfully out of the pants, as she slipped from behind him and onto the floor in front of him, applying some cream onto the deeply scarred area, she began gently, almost feather-like massages around the area. He leaned back into the couch gasping as she touched his scar, taking it as a no go zone, she moved her fingers from it only to have him take her hands and replace them over it, "Please".

Her mother and father watched this little moment they were having, holding each other as they used to, "She loves him" her father whispered, "She laughs around him".

"He loves her" her mother whispered, "He is gentler around her, more relaxed".

A/N: I know it's probably the shortest in this fic, but I liked this ending…adding more here would ruin what her parents had said.
